Page Size
Unless you are using the front-panel Page Format → PS Scaling → Fit to page option (see page Scaling the Image), the
front-panel page-size settings have no effect on PostScript files that already contain page-size information, which
includes all PostScript files sent using one of the HP DesignJet PostScript drivers supplied with this printer.
If you are using the Page Format
→ PS Scaling → Fit to page option, then the printer uses the page size set in the
printer's front panel as follows:
• If the page size is set to a discrete size, it uses the specified page size.
• If the page size is set to
Software, the printer calculates the page width as the width of the loaded paper, and the
page length as 1.5 times the width of the loaded paper.
• If the page size is set to
Inked area, the printer calculates the page width as the width of the loaded paper and the
page length as the height of the inked area plus the top and bottom margins of the page.
• If the page size is set to a “Best…” option, the printer calculates the page length as 1.5 times the page width.
